Dellin Betances was the Yankees eighth round pick last year and this one could be a huge steal.  At 18 years of age, he put up some very solid numbers in seven starts in the Gulf Coast League.  He struck out 27 and walked only 7 in 23 1/3 innings with a 1.16 ERA.  He’s 6′8″ and while he has a ways to go until he sees a Yankees uniform, he’s a guy to keep an eye on in Charleston where I expect him to spend the entire season unless he’s dominating, it forces the Yankees to send him to Tampa.
